A couple of commenters have already touched on this. For example, while both may be excellent, a spritzy, fruity witbier would probably be more drinkable than a thick, chocolaty imperial stout. The former is light and refreshing while the latter is like a heavy dessert in a bottle.<BR/><BR/>In this case of Bud Light, of course, the drinkability comes from the fact that it's basically fizzy yellow water. So yeah, Bud Light has high drinkability (assuming you can stand what little taste there is), but no more so than any other light American lager.<BR/><BR/>Like the SUV ads, Bud Light is basically highlighting the worst facet of the product, and trying to make it a selling point. I guess the marketing types are getting cocky or something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11250715.post-11108024659261399842008-11-14T13:28:00.000-05:002008-11-14T13:28:00.000-05:00Seeing as I'm stuck one state to your west that is...Seeing as I'm stuck one state to your west that is only slightly more bass ackward than yours, you know as well as I do that bars don't always (rarely) offer the much needed assortment of beer; hence, "drinkability" can at times be a quality to desire.<BR/><BR/>With that in mind, my last trip to Athens ended with a ransacking of the 5 Point beer/liquor store, and more cases of good beer that is damn near illegal to cross two state lines with. Hell, even my wife had to sit on top of a case before we could drink it down to find more room in the back.

Case in point -- Brooklyn Brewery's Black Chocolate Stout, available at the holidays, clocks in at a whopping 10.5 percent alcohol. You taste the booze in every swig, and unless you're hell-bent on getting your drank on, it's not advisable to chug.Jonathan M.
